Following the arrest of a 32-year-old man fraud charges, RCMP are turning to the public in search of other victims.

Members of the Steinbach RCMP general investigation section arrested Jesse Daniel Cole on Tuesday. Cole, who police said has no fixed address, is charged with 21 counts of breaching his probation, seven counts of fraud under $5,000, one count of fraud over $5,000 and one count of unauthorized possession of credit card data.

He remains in custody.

Cole is alleged to have been using dating and social media web sites to meet and defraud women using aliases, including “Jesse Sinclair.” RCMP said he is accused of similar offences in Alberta, Quebec and Ontario.

“We’re releasing this information and his picture to encourage anyone who may have been defrauded by this individual to contact their local policing agency.” said RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Bert Paquet in a release. “We want to ensure that this individual is charged for all of the crimes he has committed, not only the ones reported so far.”
